iOS: How to obtain ZipKit without using Mercurial?

I installed Mercurial, but true to its name it is failing to run when I try to download ZipKit. I get this message:

abort: couldn't find mercurial libraries in ....

(check your install and PYTHONPATH)

Turns out that Mercurial can only be run from the account under which it was installed, at least on OS/X. Therefore I merely had to switch bad to my main account and fetch zipkit.
